CUFF-BUTTON.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 758,;01, dated April2e, 1904.

Application filed .my 13,1903. sgriaixo. 165,265. (No model.) Y'

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J osEF PEJCHAR, a citizen of Austria-Hungary,residing at New York city, Bronx, county of Westchester, State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in OuR-Buttons,of which the following is a specication.

This invention relates to acui-button which is of simple construction,may be readily manipulated, and becomes securely attached to the cui.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cuit'provided with my improved button. Fig. 2 is a perspective View of thebutton; Fig. 3, a section through the cuil with the button inserted, andFig. 4 a face View of a modification of 'the button.4

The cud-button is made from a single piece of metal or other rigid.material. It is composed of two Shanks a, that converge `toward thefront, where they merge into a central tapering horn a. The horn isflanked by a pair of forwardly-projecting jaws a2, which extend from theshanks a to a point beyond the apex Between the horn and the jaws thereare formed a pair of converging slots as, which merge into one anotherat the apex of the horn and are accessible through a common inlet a4,formed between the spaced converging ends ofthe jaws. Thus the two edgesof the cuff are introduced into the common opening a* and 'are thenspread to the right and left to be engaged by the right and left' slotas, respectively.` The outer edges of the horn and the inner edges ofthe jaws are preferably corrugated, so that the slots as are sinuous,and thus take a firm hold upon the cuif.

In use the Shanks a are passed through the buttonhoies A' of a cuff A,while the fabric in front of the buttonholes is grasped between the hornc and jaws a2. In this way the button: becomes rmly attached, while thebuttonhole is covered and concealed by the rearwardly-extending shanksc.f

In Fig. 4 the horn 0;' is perforated to economize weight, and the endsof the Shanks a carry balls Z2, which constitute additional safeguardsagainst accidental opening.

It will be seen that my improved culi-button is hingeless, of simpleconstruction, may be readily manipulated, and effectively conceals thebuttonholes from view.

What I claim is- Y -A cuff-button composed of a pair of convergingshanks, a central horn, and a pair of converging jaws that extend beyondthe horn to form a pair of converging slots which merge into one anotherat the apex of the horn, and have a common inlet between the convergingends of the jaws, substantially as speciied.
